Theology – T&T Clark
An Ethnography of Grace, Sin, and Intellectual Disabilities
Lorraine Cuddeback-Gedeon, Mount St Mary's University, USA Using ethnographic fieldwork, this book offers a deeper understanding of how grace and sin are visible within the lives and relationships of people with intellectual disabilities. Lorraine V. Cuddeback-Gedeon illuminates the point that human agency is both enabled by and limited by dependency relationships. Only by recognizing these complex layers of agency can Christian ethics more broadly address the place of hope, grace, and resistance against structures of sin and injustice.

Christian Kinship
Family Relatedness in Christian Practice and Moral Thought
David A. Torrance, University of Winchester, UK Torrance critiques the special privileging of family, the 'blood tie.' In contrast to European and American cultural assumptions, he argues that it is kinship in Christ that is the basis of a truly Christian account for social ties. The book presents some historical and contemporary examples of practices, such as monasticism, L’Arche and spiritual kinship, displaying the outworking of kinship in Christ. In this way, the book aims to stimulate the moral imagination to consider Christian kinship might be lived out in miniature, in everyday life.

Absolute Person and Moral Experience
A Study in Neo-Calvinism
Nathan D. Shannon, Westminster Theological Seminary, USA Presents a neo-Calvinist theology of human moral experience, drawing from the works of Herman and Johan Bavinck, Geerhardus Vos and Cornelius Van Til. Accounting for the nature and possibility of evil and of moral consciousness, this book argues that human moral experience is the product of a divine self-expression primarily in the Son.

Brendan Case, Harvard University, USA In this theological meditation on the human being as an accountable animal, Brendan Case argues that accountability is not just a structural feature of human institutions: it is also a disposition to submit to rightly-constituted authority, whether divine or human. He relates this innovative conception of accountability to the key themes of justice, justification, and judgment. Offering a fresh and ecumenically minded perspective on justification, purgatory and hell, the book also engages with developments in contemporary philosophy and moral theology.

Climate Change and the Symbol Deficit in the Christian Tradition
Expanding Gendered Sources
Jan-Olav Henriksen, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Norway Henriksen examines the potential of the Christian tradition to develop symbols that can engage peoples in committed and sustained action to prevent further climate crisis. To do so, he argues that we need to develop symbols that engage both intellectually and emotionally, and which enhance our perception of belonging in relationships with other humans, both in the present and in the future.

Of Modern Extraction
Experiments in Critical Petro-theology
Terra Schwerin Rowe, University of North Texas, USA Argues that when it comes to climate change, the need to fundamentally rethink energy policies, practices, values, and assumptions becomes urgent. This book examines how a consistent obstacle to making these key shifts is the fact that we have become unconscious of the ways religion and gender have formed our concept of energy—and so repeat the worst of our theologies and gender norms in our energy practices and policies.

Shelli M. Poe, Iliff School of Theology, USA Demonstrates how Friedrich Schleiermacher’s thought can be used to address contemporary doctrinal refinement and development. Taking a constructive approach, Shelli M. Poe weaves Schleiermacher’s theology together with current scholarship in feminism, womanism, ecotheology, and queer theology. While Schleiermacher is widely acclaimed as the progenitor of modern theology, Poe is one of the first to use his work as a springboard to refine contemporary doctrine. This book demonstrates the promise of Schleiermacher’s mature work for contemporary constructive forms of theology.

Creation and Transcendence
Theological Essays on the Divine Sublime
Paul J. DeHart, Vanderbilt University, USA An exploration of the substance, understanding, and implications of the doctrine of creation from nothing (ex nihilo) for contemporary theology and philosophy. Paul J. DeHart tackles the challenging questions at the heart of the tension between the idea of God's infinity, radical notions of transcendence, and the concept of the creator's mind. By engaging with a broad range of thinkers, DeHart examines the key ideas central to this resurgent debate in contemporary Christian theology.

Appointments with Bonhoeffer
Personal Faith and Public Responsibility in a Fragmenting World
Keith Clements, Conference of European Churches, Switzerland Beginning with the earlier reception of Bonhoeffer as a martyr-figure and then as a provocatively original theologian, the book argues for his relevance to contemporary engagement with public ethics. Addressing issues such as faith and democracy, national identity and the global pandemic, Clements argues that Bonhoeffer's belief that human community is formed by living representatively on behalf of others is the key to being responsible in a fragmenting world.

THEOLOGY - T&T CLARK – Gender & Ecology / Contemporary Theology
Gregory J. Liston, Laidlaw College, New Zealand Develops a coherent pneumato-ecclesiology, arguing that an eschatological vantage point fits well with the understandings of the Church when it is viewed as the proleptic anticipation of the coming kingdom. It also outlines some immediate and obvious practical applications of utilising an eschatological Third Article Ecclesiology, and points to areas where the research initiated in this volume could inspire transformation of the Church itself.

African Biblical Studies
Unmasking Embedded Racism and Colonialism in Biblical Studies
Andrew M. Mbuvi, Shaw University Divinity School, USA Mbuvi makes the case for African biblical studies as a vibrant and important emerging distinct discipline, whilst also critiquing biblical studies for its continued underlying racially and imperialistically motivated tendencies. Mbuvi argues that the emergence of biblical studies as a discipline in the West coincides with, and benefits from, the establishment of the colonial project. Mbuvi offers readings that destabilize and undermine dominant approaches and their ingrained prejudices, showing them as unresolved remnants of a colonial past.
